What does gonfaloniere mean? Lawyer? Official? Government Figure? Fat dude with hat? I tried translating it on Babel Fish, but it showed the exact same thing. War Clown 12:44, July 12, 2010 (UTC)


According to Wikipedia:


The Gonfaloniere was a highly prestigious communal post in medieval and Renaissance Italy, notably in Florence and the Papal States. The name derives from gonfalone, the term used for the banners of such communes.
In Florence the post was known as Gonfaloniere of Justice, being held by one of the nine citizens selected by drawing lots every two months, who formed the government, or Signoria.


I translate that as the Gonfaloniere as being the only person who can sentence a person for a crime, a Renaissance Judge if you will. Von Blacke 12:55, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
